How lucky we are to be surrounded by sea. Even in the dimmest days of lockdown, when we can scarcely venture beyond our own four walls, the seaside has always been ‘there’. For a huge swathe of the population, ‘there’ is the South Coast – around 300 miles of it stretching from Dover in Kent to Lyme Regis on the Devon-Dorset border and accessible not only by car but by train, ferry and even bicycle. The region is packed with show-stopping views and walking routes that include the South Downs Way, the Jurassic Coast, and a loop around the Isle of Wight.
